Dell PE2950 can take 6 hotswap drives. If they are fully populated you could always expand using a PowerVault or somesuch. Only drawback is the more spindles, the more current you draw. We've got a few 2950s with a PV220S hanging off them. They work fine for the most part - depends on the Perc card that they talk to though. Perc5 cards never seem to quite have the same performance as we got out of Perc4s. But that's a whole different discussion... :-) _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
